What is Brodie Grundy's SuperCoach breakeven?

Brodie Grundy's breakeven is 101. The current average of 170 sits 69 points above breakeven, so the price is rising.

Should I trade Brodie Grundy in SuperCoach 2026?

The answer depends on your team — your cash, your byes, and what the upgrade target looks like. The dedicated Should I Trade Brodie Grundy breakdown weighs form, breakeven, and a comparable replacement side-by-side.

Should I captain Grundy this week, or is there a better option?

Nick Daicos via VC-Gawn loop. Multiple commenters ran a VC on Gawn and planned to lock the C on Daicos if Gawn underperformed. Daicos is seen as a ceiling-safe captain option with consistent output on big occasions and no tagging risk flagged.

Should Grundy's R09 explosion change your standard VC/C captain loop strategy, or do you stick with your established premos?

Stick with the captain loop — premos over outliers. Overwhelming consensus: if your VC hit at 150+ that is the correct play. Do not restructure the captain loop because of a one-off nuclear score. Bailey Smith VC was the right call; chasing Grundy-level ceilings risks rank in SC Cup and overall.

ROOKIEBIBLEVerdict

— HOLD

Grundy posted 203 against a ruck-less Collingwood, exploiting the mismatch absolutely — he was BOG, kept the Swans alive in the first half, and finished as a legitimate 200+ ceiling play. At $685.4k averaging 170.3 with a 101 BE he tripled his breakeven. There is a workload note — he looked spent after R8 and management in R11-12 is being discussed — but that changes nothing this week. Hold and captain freely.

Round-saver narrative for Grundy VC in R09: thread comments cite "2251 without Grundy", "if I didn't have Grundy I wouldn't have scored more than 1900", "Grundy VC helped a lot". Acts as the differentiator separating coaches who scored 2400+ from those barely cracking 2000.

Grundy played dual ruck/key-forward role in R09 (op references "hit the second tower"); strong VC option flagged by multiple coaches in the thread.

Community Intel· T4

Grundy R09 score so dominant that owners with Bailey Smith VC at 154 considered punting on Jackson C just to chase Grundy's total. Reshaping standard VC/C loophole calculus for many coaches.
